During #ENCON2013 COO Scott Farrell and Marketing Director Jessica Sullivan from Helen Adams Realty took the stage to discuss their substantial investment in mobile by ensuring all agents are armed with an iPad while on-the-go. They are the first brokerage in The Enterprise Network to release such a program. While there were significant hurdles to overcome and questions to answer concerning implementation, cost and scale, the program has proved to be a success in its first year.
One of the issues they had to face right away was fine tuning the labor and infrastructure costs and fi... MORE

2013 was a great year for The Enterprise Network! We welcomed six new members that will certainly make a significant impact using our platform in the coming years. Our vision of an exclusive network comprised of the leading independent brokerages in every market is quickly becoming a reality. We are now over 30 members strong. We choose these members very carefully as we offer exclusivity and can only accept one member per market. Forward thinking, fast adopting, effective collaborating are but a few traits that make up the ideal member for us.
While we cannot name all our new members ... MORE

#ENCON2013 has come and gone, but that doesn't mean the conversation has to stop! Over the next several weeks, we will be posting blog articles related to the conference so we can continue the discussion and expand on session topics related to the theme "The Journey Into Mobile". Mobile is changing the way we communicate with customers and the way we conduct business, so there's no shortage of things to talk about!
This year's theme was very timely as we've seen a substantial increase in mobile traffic to Enterprise sites over the past year. During the event, ... MORE

#ENCON2013 was a great success thanks to the hard work of our staff and our amazing speakers this year! What makes this event different than others is our ability to customize the content to the audience so all attendees left with clear, actionable strategies that applied directly to their technology platform and business initiatives.
While this is typical for every Enterprise Network conference we host, what made this event truly unique was the inclusion of a custom app created entirely for The Enterprise Network Conference by our in-house mobile department.
Every attendee was given an ... MORE

This year I had the pleasure of getting on stage at The Enterprise Network annual conference. I discussed the campaign Bugaboo launched called Day Trips which helped parents stay active, involving the local community. What really struck me after watching the video was how the Marketing Director described the entire campaign. She said that it was something they built that was beyond advertising, it was about giving back.
She described it as being “something that is so rich and so a part of the company…”
How amazing is that word? Rich. It makes me wonder how much of ... MORE

I thought since Christy did such a great followup post with a musically-inspired title (and really, who doesn’t love the Romantics?), I thought I’d follow in her well-written footsteps. Break on through to the other side strikes two chords: One for me professionally … and one for our many network members as we together try to solve the puzzle of moving our training and education efforts across the divide and up to a new level.
It is a small group of people that can experience an Enterprise Network conference from both sides of the fence … as a network member &helli... MORE

Preparing for my presentation on brand loyalty had me nervous. Yes, it was something I was passionate about, but would others relate? I looked at all of the other presentations and saw so many tangible take-aways; so many real tools and products. Would my emotional, intangible idea take hold the same way I knew the other presentations would?
As soon as I took the stage though, my fears subsided. I realized that everyone in the audience could and did relate to brand loyalty. Everyone has a brand or product they love, and it was my hope that everyone was th... MORE
